Another easy auto to grow looks like she’s gonna come out amazing When dried let’s see how it goes!!!

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

04/12 Demain je l'effeuille puis je la coupe à raz du sol..😊 Après viens le plus dur en cette saison par ici, arrivé à la sécher.🙄 La dernière sortie (10 jour) en est Loing. J'ai du la rentrer à la maison. (Je profite de l'absence de la patronne.) 😊👍✨

Purple Buds are amazing.I could not be happier with their color, buds are chunky and frosty, the smell is indescribable. It reminds me a certain sweet from the childhood :) and I bet it will taste even better. Later, I will show some more pictures for Industrial CBD which is doing fine. I will move Purple Buds tomorrow out of my tent for two days in the darkness and then - harvest time :) CBD has got one more week to go I think. Happy growing to everyone.

11.10. Hello. Small and healthy. Day 15.

day 15: flowers start to appear day 16-17: temps go 24 celcius, i throw ice bottles in the res day 25: insane stretch stops flowers fatten up, even crystals around the young budz.

5/11 - 5/17: I have her in full LST submission..sprawling nicely.👌 I watered her once really well at the start of the week with endoboost, humic acid, silica, cal-mag, molasses, and big bloom...and a little bit of grow big. I foliar fed with boom boom spray one day, and a solution of fulvic acid, cal-mag, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and silica a few days. It rained really heavy on the night of the 15th, so I won't be watering again anytime soon. All her topped shoots are growing out now. I'll have enough soil for a few plants in 3 gallon pots, and from what everybody says, I'd be very happy with some more jars of #7. I spent all 3 seeds to grow this one plant, so I'll try rooting some clones of her soon...👈 This week I received my new portable outdoor misting fan and hoses and got it set up on a timer with just airflow while the lights are on, and once the temps reach about 95f regularly, I'll have my hose timer let 10 minutes of water every 2 hours get misted across the canopy. It should lower the "real feel" by about 25-30 degrees and increase RH considerably. Also hoping that the constant airflow will make them stronger and keep insects off of them somewhat. It will also enable me to easily give them a blow dry if it rains in late flower. But wait...that's not all....it's also gonna be very much more enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and do my thang. 👍 I found a waterproof 200w 3000k light that has two panels that can be independently aimed in different directions. It covers a 3' x 4' area very well. It gets hot as hell, but..it's outdoors, so.... All total, that's 470w watts in 24 sq ft that i'm supplementing with. I've got very vigorous growth, so it seems to be doing the trick,

Z-up #1 scheint immer noch von der budentwicklung bisschen hinterher zu sein. Denke sie wird nicht die selbe Struktur aufbauen können wie ihre Schwester, aber wirkt generell sehr gesund und wird auch einiges abwerfen, auch wenn es vielleicht keine harten blüten werden. Z-up #2 hat eine schöne Blütenstruktur, riecht auch fantastisch. Leider ein bisschen calmag mangel, aber lässt sich jetzt auch nicht mehr ändern.

11.05.24 So wie es aussieht, hat keine Thripse überlebt, die Behandlung mit BAC Vital hat geholfen, die Luftfeuchtigkeit konnte ich ein wenig höher halten, indem ich mehrmals am Tag Wasser versprühte. heute wurden die Damen in ihre 2 Liter Töpfe gepflanzt, dort können sie jetzt wachsen bis es in die 30 Liter Töpfe geht. es gab einen kräftigen schluck wasser mit Terra Aquatica Root Booster, Terra Aquatica Seaweed und Glückspilze Mykorrhiza Soluble. 12.05.24 Pflanzen haben das Umtopfen bisher super überstanden, sie zeigen keinerlei Stressreaktion, die Blätter stehen super gegen die Sonne. 13.05.24 Die Kleinen zeigen schon wieder ein starkes Wachstum, daher wurden sie heute mit der Pinzette getoppt, ich denke mal, dass sie nun die nächsten drei Tage den Stress abbauen und dann die unteren Triebe anfangen, nach oben zu wachsen. Da wir eine Fläche von 120x120 mit einem geschlossenen Kronendach bekommen wollen, ist es wichtig, dass die Kleinen frühzeitig in die Breite wachsen. 16.05.24 Pflanzen zeigen generell ein gutes Wachstum, trotz nicht passender Umgebung, die Temperatur und die Luftfeuchtigkeit sind zu hoch, an Besserung wird gearbeitet, aber die aktuellen Außentemperaturen machen es nicht leichter. Phänotyp 1 zeigt ein merkwürdiges Kräusel Wachstum, wächst aber trotzdem normal in Höhe und Breite, Phänotyp 2 zeigt sehr komische braune Flecken an den unteren großen Blättern, es scheint fast zu verbrennen und nekrose zu werden, ein Nährstoffmangel schließe ich aus da es allen anderen Pflanzen gut geht. Phänotyp 3 entwickelt sich bis jetzt vollkommen zu meiner Zufriedenheit.

VT16 – 12.10.2025 Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich insgesamt eigentlich ganz gut – vielleicht etwas langsamer durch das Topping, aber im Großen und Ganzen bin ich zufrieden. Leider habe ich bei zwei Pflanzen erste Mangelerscheinungen festgestellt, und zwar einen Cal/Mag-Mangel. Ich vermute, dass durch das Gießen nach dem 1/3-Verfahren ohne zusätzliche Nährstoffe die Reserven doch schneller aufgebraucht wurden als gedacht. Die Erde ist außerdem noch relativ feucht bzw. im mittleren Bereich, was das Nachgießen etwas erschwert. Trotzdem habe ich mich dazu entschieden, vorsichtig rund um die betroffenen Pflanzen etwa 650 ml Nährlösung zu geben. Ich bilde mir ein, schon erste Verbesserungen zu erkennen. VT17 – 13.10.2025 Heute habe ich bei allen drei Pflanzen die vier Außentriebe mit Pflanzenhaltern weiter nach unten fixiert. Das habe ich in früheren Runs auch so gemacht und damit gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Man hätte eventuell noch etwas warten können, da die Fixierung jetzt ziemlich nah am Stamm sitzt – aber ich denke, das ist halb so wild. Alles in allem bin ich mit der Entwicklung zufrieden. INFO: Ich habe die beiden Pflanzen mit den Mangelerscheinungen nach dem Düngeschema der dritten Woche gegossen – mit Ausnahme von Cal/Mag, das ich um 0,5 ml erhöht und an meine Wasserwerte angepasst habe.

A planta fastberry apresta uma anomalia na metade da planta, com folhas atrofiadas e brotos nascendo viradas para baixo, não sei o que possa estar acontecendo, se alguém tiver uma dica provável. Obrigado

Small update, starting week 4, 22 days. Tying down and training a lot. I've learned so much, I'm excited more for my next grow than this harvest. In the past week no major changes, Gelato finally start budding, it was last. Drinking around 7-10 litres a day now. Mainly just filling res and training/pruning here and there. Sooo bushy especially Gelato. Around the halfway mark after this week so hoping everything stays as is. Temperature here has dropped out side now about 5°C on avg, so leaving tent temps right down 16-17°C at coldest lights off point. Needed an hours heat to boost at lights on some days to push to 21°C after that the lights will bring to 24-27 and maintain. Humidity in the tent jumps but the air is a consistent 45-50% so not worried at this stage if seeing readings high. I'll be moving dehumidifier inside the tent towards the end. Video uploaded at end of pics.

As autumn approached, the number of daylight hours in the jungle slowly began to decrease. First to 16, two days later to 14 and at the end of the week 12. We let the girls rest and didn't have much to do apart from getting an even canopy under the screen.👨🏻‍🌾🌱 One plant showed some magnesium deficiency so gave her an Epsom salt cure. The nutrient manufacturer said that the product contains enough magnesium but apparently one of the girls didn’t find it sufficient. On day 3 watered them with de-chlorinated tap water and Silica, 3 litres. Day7 the first irrigation with Hybrid nutrients has been given, 5 litres each. I’m curious how this line will perform during flowering.💦 Running the Ts3000 on 75% , which means 520-620 PPFD. Vpd: 0,88-1,10 kpa. See you soon and thanks for stopping by.💨🌞

So pretty im genuinely happy and interested. GOD IS GOOD Haven't started flower mode yet though..maybe at 10 weeks?

I gave her a good trim. Fed her some bat guano juice. Now she is drying off for 2 days to use up that power…you can smell her 4 feet incoming.

Another wonderful problem free week for my Black Jack Auto! Some lower leaves have faded and dried out. And now some of the top leaves are starting to fade a bit. No crazy colors yet, but I'm keeping the tent a bit cooler and crossing my fingers. No nutrients this week. Runoff ppm is around 1100 so I think she should be fine until finishing. She got crazy frosty this week. Her lemon smell has gotten much more complex. At the forefront now it smells like Fruity Pebbles (artificially fruit flavored puffed rice cereal) Lemon-lime and brand new leather shoes 🤷‍♂️ I am addicted to sniffing this plant. The nugs are swelling well now and I anticipate harvesting in week 11 or 12. Thanks for following along.

Chopped on day 84 Dried for 9 days Yield is 98.3 grams of good nugs(3.51 oz)
